Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0024

Silas was a refined and well-mannered law graduate who returned from overseas. He looked mature and elegant in his suit and tie. His formal attire inevitably reminded me of Nicholas. They shared certain similarities, as they both had a calm demeanor. The difference was that behind Nicholas' composure, he had eyes that seemed to see through everything as if he could easily manipulate all the people and events in the world.

Silas, on the other hand, had a gentle and timeless air about him. He exuded the kind of warmth that came with having experienced the vicissitudes of life.

The interview went reasonably well. Initially, I wanted to be a transactional attorney, but the firm preferred me to work in litigation.

Silas advised me, "Yasmine has been excelling in this area. Don't you want to experience the thrill of winning cases in the courtroom?"

I responded politely, "Indeed, taking up litigation will provide many opportunities to sharpen my thinking skills. My growth will be swift too."

I understood his reasoning. Whether one could secure cases and win lawsuits depended entirely on one's abilities and skills. However, doing non-litigation work would mean being involved in the team's operations and management. This showed that Silas didn't have that much trust in me yet.
